Transfer of vehicles from one state to another

I have moved in from Bangalore to Mumbai. I have a Santro Car with me with Karanataka registration. The vehicle is 7 years old.

I plan to stay in Mumbai for atleast two years.

1) What does the Transport department rules say with respect to transfer of registration.
2) Is Maharastra Road tax payable for one year/two years.
3) How costlier is annual tax when compared to Life time tax.
4) How much time is available to a citizen when he moves to a new state for registration purpose.
5. Are traffic police eligible to penalise such vehicles.
6) Who is the actual authority to check this ?
7) Who is the authority to report irregularities
9) Can some one suggest a workable solution for this problem

Re: Transfer of vehicles from one state to another

the answers to all your questions can be found in the website of ministry of road transport and highways - morth.nic.in. RTO people are the proper authorities who can penalise you for violating the rules.
